I am against bigotry, racism, hate, etc....DO NOT LABEL ME alt-left. That is a label given by racists in order to demean any protests for peace and against hate.
@ Pontifex,So let me get this straight, "the truth is given with a clenched fist". In other words you have to use violence to spread the truth because the KKK is unable to stand the comedians and politicians speaking out against them? Last time I looked people are able to show their disapproval to things they don't approve of through words and PEACEFUL protests and the need to blame minority groups is off the table because that leads to segregation and division.
The video you posted only promotes returning violence with violence....that is why we have police and vigilantism is not acceptable.
For those who blame the "alt-left" for the violence, this interview is quite enlightening. David Neiwert is a man who has studied this issue extensively and is speaking with Mark Connolly on Edmonton AM.
Edmonton AM | The rise of alt-right extremism
I couldn't have said it better. Demeaning and silencing dissent is very dangerous.
There are LOTS of videos showing Antifa members being violent and even disgusting; have fun internet watchin. Its not just Charlottesville. Even nonfascists have been labelled as fascists.
Right now you're still at the stage of "when my side does horrible things, its ok".
A lot of this stuff is probably new to you. You will probably be feeling a whole lot of horrible feelings anger hopelessness frustration. Accept those.
This is hilarious
White nationalists are flocking to genetic ancestry tests — but many don't like their results
Oh Identity Politics! Watch them turn on each other, start eating their own, just like BLM and Antifa have done...
Judaen People's Front
People's Front of Judea...
Splitters!

That's pretty condescending.
I haven't heard the label "Antifa". I've certainly been aware of the protesters in places like Seattle and Berkley. Using labels really clouds things.
The term alt left seems to be new.
The not seeing to criticise "the left", I suppose that's the limitations of print.
Trump needs a common enemy of his base. They spent so long demonizing Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama that they could simply bring them up and generate support from all conservatives. Even with both out of political office, Trump kept trotting them both out. Trump is obsessed with both. How often has he attacked Hillary, post-election? Can you remember any president doing that with their opposition from the election? And Trump is also obsessed with undoing everything Obama did. Health care has gone from "everyone will get better and cheaper" to "repeal and I don't even care if you replace it with anything". It's not that the ACA is that bad or not fixable - it's that it was Obama's baby and has to go because of that alone.
But they need a new villain. Antifa (Anti-Fascists) are one such target group, and one thing that helped generate opposition to them was a picture supposedly from Charlotteville showing an Antifa member beating a police officer with a stick. That image was faked from a 2009 picture of a riot in Athens, Greece.
FACT CHECK: Antifa Member Photographed Beating Police Officer?
But Antifa is not a centralized organization, and what little organization it does have is non-violent in self-description and against some pretty easy-to-oppose things. Unless you're Trump.
And of course North Korea and Venezuela are useful enemies. Anything to distract from the Russia investigation.
